mkhostcluster
Use the mkhostcluster command to create a host cluster object.
Syntax
>>- mkhostcluster -- -name -- name -----------------------------> >-- -seedfromhost --+- host_id_list ---+-- -ignoreseedvolume --+- volume_id_list ---+->< '- host_name_list -' '- volume_name_list -'
Parameters
- -name name
- (Optional) Specifies the name of the host cluster object.
- -seedfromhost host_id_list | host_name_list
- (Optional) Adds the specified host to the host cluster. The host cluster mappings to existing
volumes then become shared host cluster mappings. If a list of hosts is provided, the hosts are
mapped to the same volume that uses the same I/O group and with the same SCSI LUN. Note: These become shared mappings unless explicitly excluded with -ignoreseedvolume.
- -ignoreseedvolume volume_id_list | volume_name_list
- (Optional) Specifies volumes that are not part of the shared host cluster mappings. These volumes remain privately mapped to the host or hosts. You must specify -seedfromhost if you specify this parameter.
Description
This command is used to create a host cluster object.
Note: This command fails if any of the specified seeding hosts has an associated host throttle.

The system keeps the mapping to its boot drive (volume_4) private.
mkhostcluster -name myhostcluster -seedfromhost myhost1 -ignoreseedvolume volume_4
